  1. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice coming this fall

    The long gestating sequel to cult hit Beetlejuice is finally hitting theaters this fall. Starring Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara. The 'Juice is loose!
  2. X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    Fine. Then the digital coloring work was poorly done to give that impression. As is, a lot of the shading should have been straight black if you were trying to evoke the cheap animation of the 90s.
  3. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    The Mattel Creations thing was...just for MC exclusives. Dug the behind the scenes of the stop motion Origins mini films. But I have to say that Mattel's presentation needs a LOT of work. Which is sad since they are repeating the same mistakes Hasbro "grew out of" in their own Pulse...
  4. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    More teases of Turtles of Grayskull before today's presentation, including promo shots from waves 3 and 4 and a look at Target's wave 4 deluxe 2-Bopsteady. https://toynewsi.com/241-52086 No promo pics of EVERYONE, but enough for a tease. April has a nifty Sorceress vibe going on, while Casey...
  5. Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie

    Actually, it had a decent roll out (ha!), at over 3K screens. But I think what hurt it, generally, was lack of connection to Bumblebee (as in, BB wasn’t marketed as a “Transformers“ film), meaning the last major film to many would have been The Last Knight. It also didn’t help that films like...
  6. X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    The biggest thing to me is the Rogue/Magneto angle. Yes, it’s from the comics, but that has NEVER been touched upon in the series before. Rogue didn’t know Magneto when he was first introduced, and never referred to him as “Erik” in subsequent appearances. But then again, the cartoon has...
  7. A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion

    It’s Spaceballs: The Action Figures: The Auction! https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/props/spaceballs-mgm-1987-group-of-5-spaceballs-action-figures/a/7356-89774.s Heritage Auctions is selling the actual screen props of the Spaceballs action figures used by Dark Helmet in the...
  8. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    iTunes/Apple TV has the original, COMPLETE, Filmation series for both He-Man AND She-Ra for $10 a piece.
  9. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    While the Mattel Creations preview isn’t until Thursday (11:10 am PST), they HAVE gone onto Instagram and shared a few teases from the assorted product lines, including: Masterverse Emperor Hordak and Snake Sorceress Teela Cartoon Collection Evil-Lyn and Adam (with barely viewable tease of...
  10. X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    Previously on X-Men...many, MANY, years ago...
  11. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    I recall them not being THAT impressive. Like, $15-odd for some of the deluxe figures they had (saw Clamp Champ and Battle Armor He-Man), $20-ish for the vehicle assortments. Cheaper than full price...but not overly impressive for an outlet type deal. Not when you have Marvel Legends or Star...
  12. Transformers Legacy toyline

    There was! But considering the packs change (Breakdown was originally listed with a Knockout, IIRC), it is possible that Amazon opted to only carry two packs this year. Or, like last year, the theme will be a staggered release and the Bludgeon/Ruckus pack will be released later. Just have to...
  13. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    All that said, I still think Origins lost the biggest momentum when the price hit $18-20. With Masterverse (LITERALLY!) a couple dollars more (21-24)? It’s the same situation Star Wars is seeing with Black and TVC- you have two lines, both basically targeting the same (shrinking) demographic...
  14. He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Origins is…in a weird spot right now. Mattel has committing to “finishing the Vintage line” through Mattel Creations. Right now, the crux of their mass retail offerings are centered on 3 areas: ”Fan Favorites” (reissues), Cartoon Collection, and Turtles of Grayskull. We’ll see what the...
  15. X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    Here are details and a (not informative) update from the head of Marvel Animation: https://ew.com/x-men-97-beau-demayo-firing-marvel-animation-responds-8609643 There is some…oddness…at play. There didn’t seem to be anything done or said or posted by DeMayo that would normally warrant the...
  16. G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    I, too, remain unimpressed with what I’m seeing. The game is trying SO hard to be like Shredder’s Revenge, it almost feels like a reskin of that game given the stylings I’m seeing. The problem is…this kind of game and those stylings? I don’t feel they really fit with the nature of the GI Joe...
  17. We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Yeah, Costco is a members’ warehouse retailer, like Sam’s Club or BJ’s. I’m not sure I’d call them “widespread”, though. Nearest ones to me are about an hour drive, and when I lived in Iowa, either chain was 2-4 hours away. The supermarket question is…complicated. There is no, true...
  18. Street Sharks return. JAWSOME!

    Paying VIN Diesel for a promo bit would have probably cost more than what this entire LINE cost to develop
  19. Transformers Legacy toyline

    I missed that. We’re all still assuming a Voyager. There isn’t much a reason to assume he ISN’T one, though. It seems unlikely Hasbro has anything worth retooling at the leader price point for the character (unless a completely different design), and the MO of Hasbro works against that idea...
